Tiger Woods tees off at Olympic Club

What, you expected Tiger Woods to hold a news conference on the No. 1 tee?

Sir Eldrick quietly jetted into San Francisco, played a quick practice round Tuesday at the Olympic Club and then headed to Dublin, Ohio for this week’s Memorial Tournament. It helps to have your own jet, doesn’t it?

The photo at right shows Woods preparing to tee off on No. 1, the onetime par-5 that will play as a par-4 in the upcoming U.S. Open. Woods apparently hit 4-iron to the green on the 520-yard, downhill hole.

Woods posted a video on his website after his journey around Olympic. He described the Lake Course as “firm” and “fantastic.”

By the way, notice the sign to Tiger’s left in the photo. It reads, “Lake Course Closed.”
